No, that is called a scientific theory. And, the theories you speak of can be refuted in an instant.

Actually, many conspiracies cannot even be refuted because they are overwhelmingly based on unfalsifiable claims and faith.

Indeed. Stating that there was a man in 1966 who did such-and-such a thing is literally impossible to refute in the sense that you cannot refute evidence, and an assumption is actually the lowest level of a claim, so there is not even a need to refute it. The refuter will have to find out who the man is, look at his record, [etcetera], which is simply not possible.

What I mean by you cannot refute evidence is that you cannot refute something that is meant to be evidence, since it is not even close to being evident in itself, hence you have nothing to refute properly.

Not all facts are scientific. Theories exist in many areas, not just science.

Do you want to play a word game? Faith =/= belief without evidence (i.e., not all definitions of Faith)

And, I did not deny what you say, but a theory in science requires facts to make it a real theory. A theory outside science is not the same. It is assumption and a little common sense, or not the latter at all.
